The Hoops ran out winners at Rugby Park but the match came with some big talking points
Reo Hatate has been told he should have seen red as Bobby Madden admits VAR got it wrong at Rugby Park.
But former whistler Madden has sided with the two high-profile pundits, admitting Hatate should have walked for serious four play due to endangering the safety of his opponent. It was one of three incidents the ex-referee delivered his expert opinion on via his official Instagram account. On Hatate's tackle, he said: "Here you see the Celtic player has misjudged the ball and then lunges in and makes contact with the studs on the knee.
Two further notable incidents involved Joe Wright an Adam Idah and Kasper Schmeichel and Donnelly. On the first talking point, Madden said: "So consideration for the referee is does the Kilmarnock player raise his arm as a weapon or as a tool. I think you can see he never once looks at the Celtic player using his arm for leverage so the yellow card for reckless is correct."
